Movies are stories that convey the viewer to intensely experiment deep-rooted emotional messages. Film contents are predominantly delivered through vision and audition perceptive channel senses, with a wide gamma of colour sets and sound atmospheres managed to create moods, able as well to generate equilibrium awareness effects, as motion pictures glide through our attention. They can trigger emotions, thoughts and memories, derived of personal ecosystem attention structures. Distinct behaviours at the message interpretation are predisposed by cultural antecedents, validation associations and a reflection of individual emotions. Communication is a process of interaction, that leads the individual to establish perceptual and cognitive relationships with the transmitted message, such as: sensing, selecting and signifying. Therefore, meanings generated by the movie scene unravelling can be enhanced by detailed scenic cinema photography composition, as well through electing specific hue palette, saturation and brightness on image implementation, features that drive to conform an involving narrative, modulating the communication space mediation on movie creation. The semiotic field understanding, at cinema photography aesthetics and color-grading, bring about new insights of how to achieve meaningful messages, that can produce enjoyment and connection between people, within the cinematic masterpiece.

The article considers the essence and approaches to understanding network political protest. Traditional forms of collective action are changing under the influence of information and communication technologies. The network paradigm focuses on the position of the individual in the social space, the degree of his involvement in the communication space, the ability to control and regulate the intensity of the information flow. Network structures are more flexible and adaptive, more in line with the new reality. Special and main principles of the network structure of political protest are revealed. The article also presents definitions of political mobilization and demobilization. These processes Express the rivalry of the conflicting parties-the state and society, where the support of the broad masses of the population is an important category. Based on the data of the monitoring study, the features of the development of civil protest activism and the use of mobilization technologies were identified. ICTs have a significant impact on their formation and transformation. The state, reacting to forms of real and virtual activity, formulates a counteraction strategy. It is expressed in the use of technologies for the demobilization of citizens, which are also undergoing changes in the era of digitalization

The development of open information and communication space creates conditions for the spread of bilingualism as a leading trend in the language development of modern society. However, the disadvantage of this situation is the interference, which involuntarily occurs if you speak two or more languages. The problem of detecting indications of interference becomes especially relevant, which is explained by many reasons, among them vague language and translation training of the translator, which is what causes the indications of harmful interference in intercultural communication and translation. Clarifying the indications of interference as a communicative barrier due to the convergence of linguistic and cultural codes of the contacting languages ​​will ensure a successful process of intercultural communication and translation. It will promote the development of relevant, significant professional translation activities in translators. When learning a language, try to find similarities or differences in language structures to better explain errors in differences or master the material by comparing the similarities of language structures. In intercultural communication and translation, the main aim is to convey information to the reader or listener in the most natural way possible, using all known stylistic, grammatical, lexical, and grammatical means. This research was conducted based on the methods of observation, comparison, analysis, functional and descriptive methods. In order to solve this problem, the achievements of linguistics, sociolinguistics, psychology, psycholinguistics, methods of teaching foreign languages were analyzed, as the study of the phenomenon of interference is based on them. The result is the formation of a linguistic personality, in particular, the bilingual personality of the translator in a dialogue that has the ability and skills to use the language in all its manifestations in different situations of intercultural communication; the ability to understand and assimilate someone else's way of life and behavior in order to break ingrained stereotypes; skills to expand the individual picture of the world by involving in the "language picture of the world" speakers of the studied language.Some prospects for further explorations in the development of a direct model of the bilingual personality of a translator in the context of intercultural dialogue and methods of linguistic and cultural formation competencies of translators in the aspect of mastering linguistic and cultural knowledge, skills and abilities in the studied areas of communication.

The article is dedicated to the investigation of anhedonia within the Ukrainian context. It identifies social psychological determinants of this phenomenon on the individual and collective levels: development of the syndrome of victimization in the historical cultural sphere, cognitive dissonance under the condition of peace and war, politicization of the information communication space, media stress, and pop psychology. The paper determines the paradoxes of the Ukrainian anhedonia, including social hyperactivity of people suffering from this phenomenon, the domination of negativism in media and informal communication, transformation of individual symptoms of anhedonia into the social form. The author offers the following social ways of correcting the problem: reforms of mass media, intensification of psychological diagnosis and rehabilitation services, and development of the psychological correction of the actualization potential of practical philosophy.

Abstract The emergence and development of a global communication space leads to the transformation of the territorial and social structures of society, both on a global scale and in relation to a single territory, which in turn transforms the cultural system in general and ethnic culture in particular. Marshall McLuhan, one of the main theorists of the field of new media, stated about such transformations back in 1964, defining modern culture as a culture based on electricity, and also stating that due to the limitless development of information, people become involved in each other's affairs at the level of involvement in their own problems. The article is of an overview nature. It is devoted to the consistent consideration of some classical (despite its short history of the development of the direction at the moment) and modern theories of digital ethnography, conceptual and methodological approaches, the main provisions of the study of ethnic manifestation. The article also focuses on the potential of online communities as a space for the representation of ethnic identity and its manifestation, presented today in an interactive environment. It is noted that the ethnic manifestation formed in the Internet sphere is constructed based on the degree of mediation and remediation of the individual and the entire ethno-cultural group. It is important to note that the self-representation of indigenous peoples in the interactive space sometimes becomes the only possible option for them. Digital ethnographic research is carried out faster chronologically and richer in terms of immersion in the object of research. The key problems of ethnographic methods are considered to be distrust of the researcher due to the novelty of the scientific field, a wary attitude to empirical material in cyberethnography – data collection in online communities causes skepticism, as far as the received array of information can be considered empirical material.

At the beginning of cinema, in his early twentieth-century research the Soviet director and film theorist Sergei Eisenstein developed his theory of associative montage “1+1=3.” Nowadays, new methods have been added to this theory. These variables include the creative re-use of allusions to film history. In contemporary cinema, when a new archive film uses sequences from cinema heritage, it quotes from the past and can activate visually and content-wise complex cultural memories. In these films, the successive placement of two sequences, beyond their association, creates new associative meaning, thus, it calls forth metacinematic associations. This additional meaning is the imprint of cinematic heritage. Final Cut by György Pálfi and Péter Lichter’s works make use of the archives of cinematic heritage through a reinterpreted film language, attempting to create independent, innovative works of art. They use the same starting point, based on a directorial concept, but the two attempts resulted in completely different motion pictures. Due to the approach at the basis of their conception, these films illustrate both the linear, i.e., the archetypal narrative film representation and the nonlinear narration. However, these films are not only defined by the scenes they are compiled of, but also bear the particularities of the original motion pictures, referring to and going far beyond the individual characteristics of the scenes themselves. Despite being linear narrative films, the cinematic rhetoric of neither motion picture is continuous but associative - they bring into play layers of film culture. Overall, Eisenstein’s formula can be extended in the following way: 1 afs (archive film sequence) + 1 afs (archive film sequence) = 3 mca (metacinematic associations).

Detection And Recognition

Attendance Monitoring System is essential in all organizations for checking the performance of students and it is not easy task to check each and every student is present or not. In all organization attendance are taken manually by calling their register numbers or names and noted in attendance registers issued by the department heads as a proof and in some organizations the students wants to sign in these sheets which are stored for future references. This technique is repetitive, complex work and leads to errors as few students regularly sign for their absent students or telling proxy attendance of the absent students. This method additionally makes it more complex to track all the students attendance and difficult to monitoring the individual student attendance in a big classroom atmosphere. In this article, we use are using the technique of utilization face detection and recognition framework to contunisuly recognize students going to class or not and marking their attendance by comparing their faces with database to match and marking attendance. This facial biometric framework takes a picture of a person using camera and contrast that image and compare the image with the image with is stored at the time of enrolment and if it matches marks the attendance and monitor the student performance contunisuly. We may use the concept of artificial intelligence concept to monitor student attendance like capturing the motion pictures of the student when present in class to analyze the student data how much time the student presents in class.

The present study demonstrates the ultrastructure of the gingival epithelium of the pig tail monkey (Macaca nemestrina). Specimens were taken from lingual and facial gingival surfaces and fixed in Dalton's chrome osmium solution (pH 7.6) for 1 hr, dehydrated, and then embedded in Epon 812.Tonofibrils are variable in number and structure according to the different region or location of the gingival epithelial cells, the main orientation of which is parallel to the long axis of the cells. The cytoplasm of the basal epithelial cells contains a great number of tonofilaments and numerous mitochondria. The basement membrane is 300 to 400 A thick. In the cells of stratum spinosum, the tonofibrils are densely packed and increased in number (fig. 1 and 3). They seem to take on a somewhat concentric arrangement around the nucleus. The filaments may occur scattered as thin fibrils in the cytoplasm or they may be arranged in bundles of different thickness. The filaments have a diameter about 50 A. In the stratum granulosum, the cells gradually become flatted, the tonofibrils are usually thin, and the individual tonofilaments are clearly distinguishable (fig. 2). The mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum are seldom seen in these superficial cell layers.

Aldehyde-fixed chick retina was embedded in a water-containing resin of glutaraldehyde and urea, without dehydration. The loss of lipids and other soluble tissue components, which is severe in routine methods involving dehydration, was thereby minimized. Osmium tetroxide post-fixation was not used, lessening the amount of protein denaturation which occurred. Ultrathin sections were stained with 1, uranyl acetate and lead citrate, 2, silicotungstic acid, or 3, osmium vapor, prior to electron microscope examination of visual cell outer segment ultrastructure, at magnifications up to 800,000.Sections stained with uranyl acetate and lead citrate (Fig. 1) showed that the individual disc membranes consisted of a central lipid core about 78Å thick in which dark-staining 40Å masses appeared to be embedded from either side.
